One Direction are leading the way in terms of ticket sales in North America.

The lads are due to hit the continent for a bunch of shows in August, September and October as part of their Where We Are world stadium tour.

The dates are selling like hot cakes and ticket website BuyAnySeat have confirmed that the 'Kiss You' lads are driving traffic to their website.

The British-Irish group are No.1 in their list of most popular tickets and company employee Marta Ault commented:

"Adding fuel to the fire, One Direction recently released tickets to their 22-date North American stadium tour, as part of their global Where We Are tour. It’s set to open at the Rogers Centre in Toronto, Ontario on August 1, 2014. Ticket traffic has been over the top for several weeks now. That’s why we’re proud to be able to offer fans the most comprehensive and continuously updated selection of concert tickets online, with a worry-free guarantee to protect their purchase."

The band's North American run is due to end in Florida on October 5.
